This is great-- he's enraging the media-- no one does that with impunity, not even drumpf

(58,436 posts)He's been playing them like a Stradivarius for far too long, and they've been playing along to suck up the ratings.
Hopefully, this will go somewhere. It's one thing to have 70% of the populace dislike you, hell he could probably overcome that, but when the press turns on you, Katie bar the door.

(22,837 posts)He thinks he can get away with anything, but I think he's pushing his luck w-a-a-y too far.
But we'll see. This story does seem to have legs.

(4,896 posts)but the press has been such an utter disappointment so much of the time since the w that I'm not sure they won't go back to "business as usual"
....as you say, we shall see.

(24,743 posts)He thinks he's God's gift to the media. If he keeps pissing them off, he'll have his ass handed to him by media who have bent over backwards for him only for Trampolini to bite the hand that feeds him. We've seen what they can do to those who push the press too far--and it isn't pretty!

(21,421 posts)he sure wouldn't have like the media we has before reagan that was actually independent and free to report the truth.
Martin Eden
(12,801 posts)They have to be pretty impervious to facts and rational argument to support him in the first place, so "schooling" him on the 1st Amendment is unlikely to change any of their minds (if the term "mind" is applicable).

he hangs on for a few more weeks, he can have a snit-fit and refuse the nomination at the convention. Hen the R's will be thoroughly bollocksed up, and it will have been an epic con.
He just needs a way out that can plausibly be blamed on media, or the Republican party (not enough fundng to run an effective campaign?), rather than having his supporters turn on him.
